January 9, 2011 - Bake my own bread

Is the bread Helga's? Fuck no.

I use the Jim Lahey recipe. It is wonderful and vastly preferable to paying $6 for artisan bread. Last time I made it I filled the inside with spinach, mushrooms, feta and buffalo mozzarella.

It also makes good pizza dough if you smoosh it flat (bake it for around ten minutes at the hottest temperature your oven can get to).

I am going to try some herby-grainy-cheesy variants. Maybe a baguette. 

Death to supermarket bread.

Here is a bread and butter pudding I made with rum and raisins.
